Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Τιβέριος, as it is a proper noun specific to the Roman context and does not have a counterpart in the Hebrew Scriptures. However, the concept of foreign rulers and empires is addressed in various Hebrew entries related to kings and governance.

Usage: The name Τιβέριος appears in the New Testament in reference to the Roman Emperor Tiberius Caesar, under whose reign Jesus conducted His ministry and was crucified.

Context: Τιβέριος, known as Tiberius Caesar, was the second Roman emperor, succeeding Augustus. His reign lasted from AD 14 to AD 37. Tiberius is mentioned in the context of the New Testament as a chronological marker for the beginning of John the Baptist's ministry. In Luke 3:1 (BSB), it states, "In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness." This reference provides a historical anchor for the timeline of events in the Gospels. Tiberius' rule is characterized by a period of relative stability in the Roman Empire, although his later years were marked by political purges and a retreat from public life. His governance indirectly influenced the socio-political environment in which Jesus' ministry unfolded, as Roman authority and local Jewish leadership were intertwined during this period.
